    Does anyone know how to create a top 10 referrer list, which shows hits coming in and hits going out? I need something like that for my link exchanges.

    access_log stats programs do that for you
    for example webalizer or its new version angolizer has a configurable top x referrer list
    a well as many other top ( top entry, top URL, etc )

    others here in DP may give you names of other fine SW doing exactly that and much more as well

    Well actually I just want to show like the top 10 list in a block in my website, then whatever links get the most referrers will show in the top 10. Examples are umm zanyvideos.com, I want it to show like where his link partners are at and when you click "see all referrers" it shows the hits in and out.

    I do something quiet similar
    a top list of top URL
    same could be done top list by referrers

    i do it manually out of the output produced by angolizer
    may be some stats SW does is automatically already

    I convert my top list manually into an RSS feed and insert it via PHP incudes into the pages I want it to appear

    easy -
    1. create a database table with 2 fields - [1] url [2] count
    2. create a php file that takes a $_GET argument - the referer's url
    3. in the php file, save the $_GET variable into a database table with count = 1 if the url does not already exist. if already exist, simply increase the count by 1
    4. use a simple sql statement with order by desc and limit to 10 to list the top 10 referers

    ;)

    itr's Christmas time
    may be daboss shows us the complete php script - because it sounds potentially better than my current solution which involves final hand writing of my top URL RSS feed
    if all would be in a nce mysql ith could all be daily updated and fully automated once the data ar correctly accumulated from the access_log file

    it basically sound so easy that I belief a PHP pro can do it in a few dozen lines of code
    :)
